Counting Blessings

A few days ago I posted regarding my busy calendar. And then the very next morning some unforseen circumstances occured and I suddenly had a free calendar in order to deal with the situations that became priority. I have now had a few days to think about, consider, and reflect upon the blessings surrounding me.

Everyone is okay, that was the first blessing I could count. Life just hit a rocky road with a cloudy future. I am a very organized person, and luckily fairly flexible, however this giant jolt has made me pause faster than I usually do. This bumpy path I am now on has allowed me to drive a bit slower and pay attention to what is directly in front of me. The freeway driving has ceased for a bit as I detour to handle the situations at hand.

I am so fortunate to be surrounded by so many strong, caring, resilient individuals. They step in and take over, immediately reacting without question or request. I could not find success without them by my side and will always treasure the relationships I have with them. It is difficult to find honest, trustworthy people who lift you up with constant inspiration. But I have truly been blessed, as I have several in my life.

So, in essence, I put a question out into cyberspace regarding how to handle the incredibly overflowing plate I had before me. In return, I was provided with time to increase my energy level and focus on the moment. The decision I made to clear my calendar would not have happened for my own personal needs, but as I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason, I am slowly learning through the week why the universe provided me with extra time. And so I am counting my blessings and I am thankful for the opportunity to gather my thoughts.

Wellness isn’t about deprivation and it’s not about perfection. It is about pointing yourself in the direction of growth, training yourself to get comfortable with your highest potential, and then taking small steps to support that shift. It’s about showing up for yourself, day by day, and then one day finding that you’ve undergone a transformation.—Kathy Freston
